A library to parse GPX files, built for Android. The reference schema is the Topografix GPX 1.1.
In addition, it parses the speed extension, when provided as a double number.

GPX is an XML file format to represent GPS data: coordinates, routes, waypoints, and more.

Pull requests are welcome! Please check the issues and open a pull request when done: you will have made the world a better place.

1. App: an example usage of the library.
2. Parser: the library itself.

To have your project listed here, please send me an email or open a PR.

Add the Jitpack repository to your root build file. The way you do this depends on the Gradle plugin you are using.

If using Gradle plugin 7.0.0. or newer (default for new apps since Android Studio Artic Fox)

// in settings.gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    ...
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

For older verions of Gradle:

// in project-level build.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Finally, in your dependencies list

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.ticofab:android-gpx-parser:2.3.1'
}

The following is an open github repo that has date and time handling. Keep in mind that the following dependency also has dependencies of its own.

In Java:

GPXParser parser = new GPXParser(); // consider injection
Gpx parsedGpx = null;
try {
    InputStream in = getAssets().open("test.gpx");
    parsedGpx = parser.parse(in); // consider using a background thread
} catch (IOException | XmlPullParserException e) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace();
}
if (parsedGpx == null) {
    // error parsing track
} else {
    // do something with the parsed track
    // see included example app and tests
}

In Kotlin:

val parser = GPXParser() // consider injection
try {
    val input: InputStream = getAssets().open("test.gpx")
    val parsedGpx: Gpx? = parser.parse(input) // consider using a background thread
    parsedGpx?.let {
        // do something with the parsed track
        // see included example app and tests
    } ?: {
        // error parsing track
    }
} catch (e: IOException) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace()
} catch (e: XmlPullParserException) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace()
}
